30 week pregnant

Hai mama, at 30 weeks this is pretty normal, those Braxton Hicks contractions and the general tightness happen to most of us, especially when baby is getting bigger and space is getting tight! The discomfort when changing position is common too since your ligaments are stretching and everything feels heavier lah, but since you're a first-time mum and want to be sure everything's okay, best to mention it to your doctor or midwife at your next checkup, just for peace of mind and to rule out anything else. A few of us try changing positions more slowly, using a pregnancy pillow to support the bump, or doing gentle stretches, might help a bit with the discomfort. Hope it gets easier for you soon, mama!
